News Herald Arrest Report

Man charged after yelling racial slurs
 
A local man was arrested March 8 after yelling racial slurs and threatening violence at a residence in Tellico Village.

Three Loudon County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a house regarding an unwanted guest. Deputies talked to a man who said he and his employees were at a job site when Brian Timothy Johnson, 48, came into the place where they were working.

Johnson was reported to be yelling racial slurs at the workers and threatened to retrieve a gun and kill all the employees on the job site. Johnson then left for a nearby residence, while the men at the job site went to the end of the driveway. The men told deputies they were in fear for their safety and believed Johnson was going to retrieve a gun.

Deputies talked with Johnson, who was observed at the property line yelling at the construction workers. Johnson was escorted back to the driveway of his residence and patted down for weapons.
Johnson had slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet and had a smell of alcohol on his breath, according to the report. He denied yelling or making threats.
Johnson was charged with aggravated burglary, assault, disorderly conduct and public intoxication and held on $9,000 bond.
